A 51-YEAR-OLD man was killed on Friday night in a three-car collision on Cowpen Road.
The crash between a black Nissan Note, a white Mercedes Benz and a white Mitsubishi Canter took place at about 9pm.
Police said the 51-year-old was driving the Nissan Note east along Cowpen Road when he veered into the opposite lane, colliding with the Mercedes Benz, driven by a lone woman travelling west. The Nissan then struck the Mitsubishi, which had three occupants.
The male driver of the Mitsubishi was injured, but the other occupants were uninjured. The Mercedes driver was also unhurt.
EMS personnel transported the Mitsubishi driver to hospital for treatment. The 51-year-old man was found to be dead at the scene.
Investigations are continuing.

Sad story. Condolences! However, I would be curious to know if the 51 year old had a medical issue or cardiac event that took place first, then crashed. Don't know if our forensics unit is advanced enough to determine if death occurred before or after the accident. 🤔
I knew someone a few years back who fainted at the wheel due to a heart problem. Thank goodness she was in traffic and only bumped the person in front of her. She was also traveling with a passenger who witnessed what happened.
